You have a tricky situation. Sounds like hell but you are making it through to the other side. I have found out the hard way about husbands of friends who are all of a sudden "there for me". I don't need any more of the BS....good Lord!

Divorce - How I lost part of the FINAL 20 pounds!

Me, too! Again.

It has taken awhile for things to "kick in" so to speak, but finally after six months I am really starting to see my muscles emerge. Clean eating & lifting heavy....stick with it!

I have been a big fan of Metabollic Effect for some time. They have done their research and published a book which I have found is very helpful. It is much more FOR ME than cals in/out. I eat mostly paleo, have a very active lifestyle, and it has taken me several years to get to the level I am currently at. I'm not done,…

So do you think less highly of OP?

I can understand your ignorance if you in third grade. If you're older than that you need to google "nutrition".

Genetically modified chemical-laden foods....Yummm. Great choice. Wake up, people. This isn't food. This is a machine and you are the hamsters that keep the wheel turing. You don't benefit from this crap at all.

I, too, am Holier Than Thou. It is about so much more than the food! These companies are running your life, and ruining many other's lives. You can chose to ignore it if you want, and call people names, too. SOMEBODY will be standing up for what's right. When are you going to wake up? [/quote] Uh what? :huh: [/quote]…

Check out Metabolic Effect on Facebook - they recommend taking pure cocoa powder (not Nestle's or anything like that) and mix it with hot water. I bought some organic cocoa powder today & can't wait to try it. I LOVE everything they say at Metabollic Effect. Very helpful.

Make "bean dip" out of anything. - cauliflower, broccoli, lentils, peas, avocado......just add cumin, garlic, onion, red chili powder.... and dip with celery, carrots, cukes, etc. Even my kids like this.

Yes! Today wasn't so bad with the sun shining, but I'd like 60 degrees soon!

I'm in Columbus, if that helps?

I am only on a seven-day detox, which is really how I eat anyway, with the exception of coffee. I've been struggling with the coffee missing, but once my seven days are over, I will go with green tea. I think we have gotten over the hump, don't you? I had a killer headache at first, and very little energy. I just wanted to…

There is lots of info out there about what foods can contribute to your thyroid issues, and what foods may help. I really hate to see everybody running to the medication and hardly mentioning nutrition.

Check out Wheat Belly... don't know if you have these symptoms or not....but check it out. Also - your thyroid might be sluggish. You can check that out on Web MD. Look at Metabollic Effect - good place for great info. Metabollic Syndrome - for folks who hold their weight in their mid section.... I have totally abstained…

YES! HIIT!

I am just finding out if I have thyroiditis! I'm adding you!

She feels what she feels at that particular moment in time. You are saying she is essentially, unattractive because of the way she feels about herself. Twisting the knife a little?

Find out why you hate something & be specific. I hated getting hot - I felt like I was being smothered - so now I turn the fans on and it's better. I also need either great music or a good TV show to take my mind off how bad my shins hurt, my lungs hurt, I have to clean the house, etc. I also feel like a piece of poop…

Welcome, Alyssa! I live near Madison. Hate the month of February! But it's almost over.... Are you making some progress? I'm trying my damndest but see little change.

Just to clarify, is this the distribution you are talking about? 50% Protein, 30% Carbs, 20% Fat?

Nothing else has really been working for me, so today is day 53 of no booze. I eat clean (mostly), lift heavy, stay active. I don't know what else I can do, but it doesn't look like I'll be wearing a swim suit in public this year :(

You had me at butter.

Well your profile pic is sexy!

Yes if that's your car.

I never get bored with this book. This is my second time through it. Love it. There are diagrams, instructions, helpful facts, even a nutrition program. Good place to begin....and good enough to continue with, IMO.

Holy crap! I gained 3.2 pounds this past week! Totally emotional binging on chocolate. I don't even really love chocolate. But it was here. And I'm trying not to get too down about it. But I am.
